North West property developer, David Price, was inspired to support young people in Chorley after attending OnSide Youth Zone’s Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace Gardens, with HRH Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.

Hosted by comedian David Walliams, the event saw more than 400 guests celebrating young people and their achievements as a result of OnSide Youth Zones.

David, founder of 10ACIA property company, began volunteering as a mentor in his early 20s and has now become a Founder Patron of the Youth Zone in Chorley, agreeing to the generous donation of £75,000 over three years.

He looks forward to being involved in supporting local young people to raise their aspirations, develop their entrepreneur skills and achieve their full potential through Inspire Youth Zone.

David, 30, said: “The Gala Dinner is a night I won’t forget. I was lucky enough to speak with Prince Harry, but I met so many like-minded people who have a true passion for supporting the country’s young people. If we’ve been lucky enough to have support in life to help progress to where we want to be, we have a duty to help others do the same.

Janine Blythe, Chief Executive of Inspire Youth Zone, said: “David is a true role model and inspiration to our members. 10ACIA’s donation will support the next generation of budding entrepreneurs from Chorley to follow their dreams too, we cannot thank David enough for his support”.
